Plato/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words plato and/or philosophy:

    Man is the measure of all things; of that which is, that it is; of that which is not, that it is not.
    —Protagoras or Plato (c. 490–421 B.C.)

    A cosmic philosophy is not constructed to fit a man; a cosmic philosophy is constructed to fit a cosmos. A man can no more possess a private religion than he can possess a private sun and moon.
